Burger Night!

Last night was burger night and here you can see a before and after photo. This time we made the burgers on a grill pan instead of the Foreman and they turned out delicious, and it was a lot easier to clean up. The key is to get the 95/5 ground beef so that there is very little fat. I also made homemade oven baked french fries. A delicious summer bbq.

Muffins

Check out the banana muffins I made this morning. These couldn't be easier to bake and there is no better feeling than baking from scratch. Come over and get one! Props to QCC's official new photographer.

Mediterranean Chicken Pitas

These were so awesome that I inspired Hannah to make the same last night and she loved them too. Featuring chicken (marinated in italian dressing, seasoned with paprika and onion powder, and grilled on the stove with a grill pan) and accompanied by Israeli salad (diced cucumber and tomato in a bit of EVOO and kosher salt) and Sabra hummus. This recipe was a spin-off on a recipe on the back of a Sabra lid top. Be sure to check those out, they have some great recipes.

Back!

My triumphant return to Buffalo after a long summer of recovery from foot surgery has inspired me to cook, cook, cook. Last night I made salmon in the oven with garlic, spicy sesame noodles and blanched green bans sauteed in soy sauce. The meal was delicious and I have to say that this is one of my favorite QCC photos, thanks to ADG.
